Beschreibung

"Hidden City Secrets" explores the captivating world beneath our feet, revealing the hidden tunnels, forgotten subway stations, and concealed spaces that exist just beneath the surface of iconic cities. This journey into subterranean exploration unearths the historical, architectural, and social narratives etched into these urban undergrounds. Learn about the evolution of infrastructure networks, from ancient aqueducts to Cold War bomb shelters, and discover how these spaces reflect the changing needs and priorities of city dwellers. The book presents a unique and tangible connection to urban history, offering insights into the ingenuity, aspirations, and fears of past generations.

 
Structured in three parts, "Hidden City Secrets" first introduces the concept of the "hidden city," then delves into specific types of hidden spaces like abandoned transportation systems and shelter spaces, using case studies from cities worldwide. Finally, it examines the modern-day relevance of these hidden spaces, exploring preservation efforts and their impact on urban planning.

    An engaging new translation of a timeless masterpiece about coping with the death of a loved one 
     
     
     
    In 45 BCE, the Roman statesman Cicero fell to pieces when his beloved daughter, Tullia, died from complications of childbirth. But from the depths of despair, Cicero fought his way back. In an effort to cope with his loss, he wrote a consolation speech—not for others, as had always been done, but for himself. And it worked. Cicero's Consolation was something new in literature, equal parts philosophy and motivational speech. Drawing on the full range of Greek philosophy and Roman history, Cicero convinced himself that death and loss are part of life, and that if others have survived them, we can, too; resilience, endurance, and fortitude are the way forward. 
     
     
     
    Lost in antiquity, Cicero's Consolation was recreated in the Renaissance from hints in Cicero's other writings and the Greek and Latin consolatory tradition. The resulting masterpiece—translated here for the first time in 250 years—is infused throughout with Cicero's thought and spirit. 
     
     
     
    Complete with an inviting introduction, Michael Fontaine's engaging translation makes this searching exploration of grief available to readers once again.

    ’…an essential and fascinating manual for every woman who wants to understand equality within an ever-changing, modern world.’ Scarlett Curtis 
    ‘…[this book] taught me more than any book has ever taught me about AI.’ Chris Evans, Virgin Radio 
    How To Talk To Robots, is your girls guide to Artificial Intelligence. Entrepreneur Tabitha Goldstaub welcomes you into the AI world with a warm embrace. She brilliantly breaks down the tech-bro barriers offering a straightforward introduction and makes clear the enormous benefits of understanding AI. 
    If your social feed defines your spending habits or you’ve downloaded the latest filter to see what you’ll look like when you are old or now connect with your doctor using an app, have applied for a job online or used your phone to arrive at work in record time, AI is playing a part in how you live, work and play. We live in an era where machines are taught to learn and act without human intervention and there are infinite possibilities to their applications. The risk of these technologies biasing against you is real, and this book will give you tools to navigate the current and future developments consciously. 
    As well as explaining the risks Tabitha lays out the awesome benefits AI can offer. From spotting disease to tailoring education and tackling climate change the potential rewards are life-changing. 
    Starting with a potted history, Tabitha shines a light on the many unsung heroines since the rise of AI in the 1960s. In conversation with Karen Hao she simply demonstrates how the technology works (and sometimes doesn’t work!) and interviews a cross-section of women who use AI in their work today including Jeanette Winterson, Sharmadean Reid, Martha Lane Fox and Hannah Fry. This book doesn’t just present the challenge; Tabitha offers supportive practical advice and shares an extensive list of books, films, courses and more for further exploration. 
    However it is that you identify with womanhood, wherever you are in life, and whatever you do, this technology is inescapable and now is your time to make sure AI works for you – and not you for it! 
    Goldstaub's book is a best in class reference for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of AI, economics, and personal life. Her professional insights make this a top pick for those in the business and computer industries. 
    For fans of Ryan Holiday (The Daily Stoic), C. Brené Brown (The Gifts of Imperfection), Henry Kissinger (World Order), Hannah Fry (Rutherford and Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything), and Sarah Hill (How the Pill Changes Everything).

    Stress is a problem for many people. This practical book was written by a GP who developed her approach for dealing with stress to help her patients and felt it could help a wider audience. It was first available in 2014 but the latest version was released in 2024. The book is designed to encourage you (the reader) to reflect on what is causing stress in your life, how this stress is affecting you and on what you can change in your situation, and in yourself, to help you make life feel less stressful. There is plenty of space for you to jot down your thoughts. 
    The introduction includes a definition of the word 'stress', and is followed by a description of the Acute Stress Reaction. You are then asked to consider whether there are aspects of your life that you can change and if so, to focus your energy on bringing about these changes. From then on, the book focuses on how stress can affect you: your mind, your body and your spirit. You may recognise some of the thoughts, physical symptoms and feelings described. There is also a section on unhealthy coping behaviours, prompting personal reflection. It goes on to give practical advice to help life become less stressful for you. This advice focuses on helping you to control your mind and any anxious thoughts, and also on ways to look after your body and to restore your spirit. 
    It is hoped that through the process of reading this book, and reflecting as you go, you will gain a greater understanding of yourself and the way you respond to stressful situations and events. The book provides a handy reference tool which you can personalise by annotation and also by highlighting areas which are particularly useful. Through this process you will become more empowered to make changes which will hopefully make your life more manageable and enjoyable.

    What does it mean to live wisely in a world full of uncertainty? 
    Letters from a Stoic is a remarkable collection of personal letters written by the Roman philosopher Seneca to his friend Lucilius nearly two thousand years ago. In these thoughtful and deeply human letters, Seneca shares practical advice on how to face life’s challenges with courage, clarity, and calm. 
    Rather than writing as a distant philosopher, Seneca speaks like a trusted mentor and friend. He reflects on everyday struggles—fear, anger, wealth, loss, time, and the search for happiness—and offers guidance grounded in the principles of Stoic philosophy. 
    At the heart of his message is a powerful idea: true peace of mind does not come from external success or possessions. It comes from developing a strong character, a disciplined mind, and the ability to accept what we cannot control. 
    In these timeless letters, you will discover insights on how to: 
    - Overcome fear, anxiety, and unnecessary worry 
    - Use your time wisely and focus on what truly matters 
    - Build resilience in the face of hardship 
    - Cultivate inner peace and emotional balance 
    - Develop wisdom, self-discipline, and strength of character 
    Although written nearly two thousand years ago, Seneca’s reflections feel strikingly modern. His words continue to guide readers toward a calmer, more thoughtful, and more meaningful life. 
    This book is more than a classic work of philosophy—it is a series of conversations about how to live well. 
    A timeless guide to wisdom, resilience, and the art of living.
